ST GILES JUNIORS


All courses and accommodation are offered subject to availability.

St Giles reserves the right to cancel a course or make changes to course arrangements without liability if obliged to by circumstances beyond its control or due to low demand.

In such cases St Giles would seek to offer alternative arrangements, dates or venues, or a full refund of fees for tuition and accommodation.

St Giles reserves the right to refuse to accept a student due to overriding health and safety concerns, or in cases where we or the accommodation provider cannot make reasonable provisions to facilitate their learning needs or for their personal care.

Course fees: No documentation will be issued until we receive the Course Deposit. The course fees must be paid in full if documentation is required in support of a visa application. Students will not be permitted to start the course unless full payment has been received.

Cancellations & Refunds: The parent/guardian must inform the College in writing and return the student’s Confirmation of Acceptance of Studies. Cancellation fees are charged as follows, and any balance is refunded:

Changes to enrolments: We reserve the right to charge an administration fee of £50 (UK), CAN$100 (Canada) or US$100 (USA) each time course details are changed after confirmation documents have been issued. This charge will not apply to course extensions.

Visas: It is the responsibility of the parent or guardian to contact their local embassy (or other appropriate office) in good time in order to obtain any visas/entry documents required for visiting the UK, the USA, or Canada. No visa support documentation will be issued until fees have been paid in full.

Visa refusal: Our office must receive the refusal letter before the course begins. Charges and refunds are as follows:

Courses and course content: Courses are offered subject to demand. We reserve the right to vary the organisation and content of courses, and the range of leisure activities, according to numbers of students or in response to circumstances beyond our control.

Student conduct/standard of behaviour: We reserve the right to terminate without notice the course of any student who persistently misconducts himself/herself in their classes or accommodation, or who fails to meet the attendance requirements of the course. There is no refund of fees to students whose courses are terminated in this way.

Insurance: Deposits and fees are not transferable from person to person. St Giles has arranged insurance over via its partner Endsleigh for all students included in the package prices. Family Course students can include this for £5 per person per week. This is designed to cover loss of and/or damage to personal belongings, medical expenses in the event that the student is ill, and course fees in the event of an unexpected cancellation or curtailment of the course. See our website for further details of the policy.

St Giles Schools of Languages Limited (UK), St Giles Colleges Incorporated (USA) and St Giles Colleges International Language Centres Limited (Canada) accept no liability for the loss of, or damage to, any person’s property while on the premises of the summer school, or while engaged in leisure activities outside the campus.

Responsibilities of the parent or guardian: By signing the application form, the parent or guardian:

1. grants the student permission to participate in the full programme of class and leisure activities;

2. authorises St Giles Schools of Languages Limited (UK)/St Giles Colleges Incorporated (USA)/St Giles Colleges International Language Centres Limited (Canada)to take appropriate action in the case of any medical or other emergency, and accepts responsibility for any resultant costs;

3. accepts responsibility for any wilful damage caused by the student and any resultant cost for repair or replacement.

Extra-cost and cost-free options: We reserve the right to cancel or to offer substitute activities on the optional activities programmes in the event of fewer than 8 students opting for any specific activity.

Breakages and Medical Deposits: Please note that a deposit of £80 (Canterbury, Cambridge, London, Nottingham and Southampton), US$100 (Florida, Harvard, New York, Philadelphia, San Diego, San Francisco, and Yale) and CAN$100 (Toronto and Vancouver) or equivalent sum in Euros is payable in cash on arrival, and will be collected from all students on the first day of their course.

The breakages deposit will be returned to students with a deduction made for loss of keys and/or personal damage to any property of the school, or for any liability incurred by the school resulting from the individual student named on our enrolment form, or which is non-attributable to any individual student, but which can be reasonably held to be caused by students of the school (in the sole opinion of St Giles Schools of Languages Limited (UK)/St Giles Colleges Incorporated (USA)/St Giles International language Centres Limited (Canada).

Students studying the US and Canada are also requested to pay a refundable deposit of US/CAN$100 to cover the insurance excess payable for any medical expenses in the event that the student is ill and requires treatment.
